R.:Onewhodeclareshimselfanatheistcannotexpecthisunsupportedword forthemeaningofScripturetocarryanyweight. Andinthisparticularinstancewhatyousayisquite absurd.

Again,intheOldLaw, thepriestsdevotedreligiouslytotheserviceofthe templeweresupportedby thegiftsbroughtbythe people.SointheNewLaw, ChristHimselfordained similarmeansofsupport.

ThusOurLordsaidtoHis disciples,whensendingthem ontheirmission:"Eatand drinksuchthingsasthey have,forthelaboureris worthyofhishire."(Lk. 10:7).

St.Paul,therefore,puts thedirectquestiontothe Corinthians:"Ifwehave sownuntoyouspiritual things,isitagreatmatter ifwereapyourtemporal andmaterialthings?"

AsIhavesaid,noone wasmoreinsistentthanSt. Paulthattheclergyshould liveuptowhattheypreach. Butheisnotdealingwith thatsubjecthere.Heis dealingwiththedutyof supportingtheclergyonthe partofthosetowhomthey preach.

Q.:Tellmehowanypriest canjustifytakingmoney foradministrationofsacramentsorsayingMasses forthedead,eventhough theofferingsarecalled voluntary.

R.:Voluntaryofferings maybeacceptedbyanybody.Thegeneralprinciple justifyingacceptanceof suchofferingsinreturnfor servicesonthe.partofthe clergyhasbeenclearly statedbySt.Paul.

Catholicsknowthatthere isnoquestionof"purchasing"sacramentsorMasses, butthattheyaremerely makingapersonalcontributiontothesupportofthe priestfromwhomtheyask specialservices.

Asyouprofesstobean atheist,youcouldwellbe contentwithanatheismthat costsyounothingandleave complaintsabouttheCatholicwayofdoingthingsto thosewhoareaffectedbyit.

MannersAreDesirableIn ChurchMoreThanAtHome

(Rt.Rev.Mgr.ThomasJ.Cawley)

Themanwhosaid,"Whensomepeoplego tochurch,theyleavetheirmannersat home,"wasn'tentirelywrong.Somefolks dothatverything,totheannoyanceoftheir priestsandthedisedificationoftheirneighbours.

Badmannersarealways regrettable,butnevermore sothanwhentheyinvolve GodandtheworshipofGod. Andthesearedeeplyinvolvedwhenbadmanners areinevidenceatHoly Mass.

Howdoesanindividual betraythefactthathehas lefthismannersathome?

1.BybeinglateforMass. Noonewhopretendstorespectanotherislateforan appointment.Andthegreatertherespect,thegreater theefforttobeontime.

Wherethisleaveshabitual late-for-Massersisnotdifficulttosee.

2.Bygenuflectingcarelessly.Themysteriousgymnasticscertainpersonspass offasagenuflectionare proofpositiveoftheirbad manners.Agenuflectionis somethinglikeahandshake.1 It'sagreeting,areverence, asalute.Whencarefully andreverentlymade,itis anindicationofthehighest possibleregard.When sloppilyandhalf-heartedly made,itisanindicationof theexactopposite.

SneakingOutEarly

3.ByleavingMassunnecessarily.Peopledon't walkoutinthemiddleofa friend'sconversation.They don'tcutcornersonthetime dueasuperior,andunless theyhavenomannersand lessfaith,theydon'tbreak theirnecksleavingchurch beforeMassisentirelyover. AndthismeansstayinguntiltheHailHolyQueen hasbeenrecited.

4.Bysneakingoutduring theannouncementsandsermon.Theword"sneaking" hasbeenchosenadvisedly, becauseitdescribesexactly whatisdonebycharacters wholeavethegalleryor backofthechurchjustas thepriestbeginstheannouncements.They"grab" aquietsmokewhilethe priestisdescribingways andmeansofavoiding,not smoke,butfire.Theyobviouslywouldn'tdosucha thingiftheirmannerswere notinastateofutterdisrepair.

IgnoringSermons

5.Byreadingaprayer bookduringthesermon. Commoncourtesydemands thatwelistenwhensomeoneelseisspeaking.This appliesinpublicquiteas muchasinprivate.Prayer bookshaveadefiniterole inaman'sreligiouslife. Still,theywereneverintendedtobeusedwhilea priestofGodisdelivering asermon.Thisremains truenomatterhowinelegantlyhephraseshis thoughts.

6.Bycoughing,conversing,orcheckingone'swatch endlesslyduringtheannouncementsandsermon. It'sh,rdenoughtospeak publiclywithouthavingto contendwithachorusof coughs,adozenscattered conversationsandabevyof fidgetywatch-shakers. Goodmannershaveaway ofconcealing,notrevealing, boredom.

7.Byrefusingtomoveto theendofthepew.Noparticularvirtueisattachedto sittingontheoutsideofa seat,butyou'dthinksoto observesomedie-hardsin operation.Theyactually makeanissueofeveryattempttoslideintotheirseat andforceanyonewhois braveenoughtotrytocrawl overthem.Thestirthus arouseddoesnocreditto theirmanners.

8.Bytwirling,untangling, andplayingwithone'srosary.Therosaryisnota baton.Neitherisitapuzzle noraninstrumentoftorture forthefolkstotheright, left,front,andback.This, however,doesn'tstopthe manorwomanwhosemannersaredrooping.Theygo rightaheadtwirlingtheir beads,rattlingthemagainst theseat,andtryingtountanglethem.Theyedifyno one,saynoprayers,and honourneitherGodnor Mary.
